manage-services

To define an OFBiz service, you create an entry in the services.xml file specifying the service name, engine type like entity-auto or java, and required parameters. This registration makes the business logic available for execution and transaction management.

The entity-auto engine handles automatic CRUD operations for entities without custom code, the groovy engine allows writing lightweight scripts for simpler logic, and the java engine is used for implementing complex, secure business logic requiring full transactional control.

You manage OFBiz service transactions using attributes like use-transaction and require-new-transaction in the service definition. This controls transaction boundaries and ensures proper commit or rollback strategies during synchronous or asynchronous execution.

Yes, you can expose OFBiz services via REST APIs by configuring the export attribute in the service definition. This allows external systems to securely access and execute the defined business logic over HTTP.

You orchestrate multiple OFBiz services by using the group engine to define a service group. This allows you to compose separate transactional services, such as creating an order and sending an email, into a unified architectural execution flow.
